This landscape report on the current status of activities related to medical countermeasures (MCMs) for pandemic response underscores the urgent need for action in this critical area. From bolstering research and development to diversifying manufacturing capacities, coordinating global procurement efforts, ensuring equitable allocation approaches for these lifesaving interventions, and making sure arrangements are in place so that they reach the very last mile and enable appropriate use by those in need, the journey toward pandemic preparedness traverses a multifaceted landscape. 

Yet, despite the progress made, critical gaps in MCM-related aspects remain, and vulnerabilities urgently need to be addressed. This report explores scientific advancements and ongoing or planned activities in the field of MCMs. While there is much progress to note and acknowledge, it is evident that significant work remains to strengthen our abilities to prepare for and respond to pandemics.

Moreover, no single entity can tackle this monumental task alone. A network of networks is needed, wherein collaboration and coordination among regional and global health actors are strengthened, ensuring a coherent, streamlined, and accountable approach to pandemic preparedness. This report emphasizes the importance of collective effort in navigating the complex landscape of medical countermeasures and enhancing global health security.
